This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom
Better Yourself \u2013 Daily Wisdom
Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1972 of our Trek, and it\u2019s time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today\u2019s trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before.

Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today\u2019s trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16andversion=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver! If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let\u2019s jump right in with today\u2019s nugget:

Today\u2019s quote is from William Faulkner, and it is: Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don\u2019t bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.
Better Yourself


I am competitive and enjoy being good at what I do. I enjoy competing with others, but I am enough of a realist to know that I am not always the best at many things in life. Maybe that is why I push hard to compete with myself more than with others. I am driven to be just a little bit better each day. I fully understand and realize that God has made us unique and different. We are to be His imager. It is not as crucial that we are better than others but that we are better today than we were yesterday. We are to utilize our God-given talents and abilities to the best possible. Each day we work to build God\u2019s kingdom will allow us to improve and be more impactful today than we were yesterday. Self-improvement will enable us to be competitive without being better than someone else. In God\u2019s eyes, we are never compared to another person. Instead, we are accountable for utilizing what He has provided us. While in the standards of this world, we will be compared to others and ranked accordingly, God\u2019s standards are different. Be the best with what God has given you, and then you will hear, \u201cWell done!\u201d



https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+9%3A24-27andversion=NLT;NIV (1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

Don\u2019t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified.

As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of \u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\u2019
